Is there a way to alphabetize mailing labels?

If so, please lemme know...it would save me TONS of work...
Thanks!
 
Depends how they're set up. If you already have the labels set up, all
formatted as 'normal' then 'not easily' is the answer.

If you are doing a mail merge, you can specify the sort field(s) as part of
the merge query. (By far the best method!)

If the first line of each label is formatted to a different style, you can
do it by setting that style's outline level to 1, then display the document
in outline mode, display only level 1 paragraphs, select all, then use Sort
from Table menu.

If each label is a single line using NewLine for each address line and
paragraph marks only between labels, then you can sort directly: select all,
then Sort from the Table menu.
 
If you have the labels already typed, see "Convert Labels into Mail Merge
Data File" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:

http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels_into_mail_merge.htm

and use Table Sort, to sort the resulting data source.
